He pops up like a floating turd every time there is an election about to be announced, but thankfully tends to disappear between cycles. I’d rather stick pointy things in my eyes than to have to put up with him full-time. ---

TЯцмр just posted this on ТЯЦТН ЅОСІАL: My Friends and fellow American’s, I have a really Terrific Announcement today. Really terrific. Today I am announcing new … money. That’s right, new money, the best ever made by the Great USA Treasury. It will be paid for by the tariffs and all the countries, Canada, Mexico and China and the rest. Every time we get two dollars from them, for the unfair trade, will print a brand new and - new designed two dollar bill de-Nom-o-Nation. I have to say, the idea came to me from Elon Musk’s son, Ash or X, little X I call him, who told me, “Sir, you Should be on the Money.” And I asked Elon, “Isn’t there a law about that? Presidents on the money?” And he told me, not many know this, Whoever is the King or Queen of England, or the United Kingdom, is on all of their money. All Their money, or they call them banknotes, we call them Dollars. The Great American Dollar. I asked Elon and DOGE if this can Happen and they came back to tell me, “Sir, this a great idea. We found Calvin Coolidge had a half dollar in 1916 when he was still alive, for the Sesquicentennial they say it was called for 150 years of American Freedom”. And what better Way to Honor the Presidency that we are all Making Great Again. And two More things: It will again be Bigger like it once was, over 7 inches wide and 3 inches Tall, in color, Great Color so it will be made of plastic. Each new bill can last ten years at least, maybe as long as I’m in the White House, we’ll see. On the front will be me and the back we think will be the Supreme Court, in good, nice respectful suits and robes like they wear over there. Won’t that be terrific? And all paid by the tariffs. I’ll be speaking with the Treasurer once we confirm him. Or her, could be a woman. We want to get these ready for America’s 250th birthday, so 2026. - President DJT ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > ❓ If it was out of place and jerkish, sorry for being the jerk. I at least suggested it was satire with the pseudo-cyrillic social media name. I don’t follow his posts other than those that make it here or are really notable (in a bad way). I got in some digs like his random capitalisation, generally stupid manner of speaking/writing, including his “not many know this” about regular things everyone knows, two of his “Sir” stories, put in his plan to never relinquish the White House and his lack of how tarrifs work. BTW, a 250-year anniversary is called a Sestercentennial or Quarter-Millennial. The last one could be a burger name next year and he could handle that one.

And two dollar bills (JK!).

They were/are cool. I was surprised it really was (once) quite a bit larger than the usual, and of course it’d have to be plastic, in color, his pic instead of the guy whose document he dismantles every day, plus a dig at “respectable suits and/or attire and was going to mention what I think he’d say about the stockings and no long neckties the founders are wearing on the back”. World Peace, eh? He might out-do his choditiy. ---

As many have said, assuming the speech takes place (and tonight is NOT the night for Trump’s bid to create a police state\*), it will be essentially a MAGA rally, with the Republicans jumping up and cheering constantly and the Democrats sitting there stoically. I wish none of the Dems would show up. Showing up says “Trump and his actions are perfectly normal, even if we don’t agree politically.” That’s a bad message for them to be sending. But the disappointing Hakeem Jeffries is saying that > [@](#): > > it is important to have a strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber He seriously thinks Democrats will score political points by sitting there politely while Trump rants. (As I said: disappointing.) . . \* If he really wants to end the expression of all negative opinions, and enjoy the criticism-free lives of his idols Vlad and Xi and Kim, sooner or later he’s going to have to do as they have done. He will need a police state. Maybe tonight won’t be the night, but he will need it to get what he wants.

Anyone watching Trump tonight? What is that, 9AM EST and he can just have a MAGA rally. He’ll be on BBC1 probably here. I assume the main TV networks in the USA will have their programming and leave it to the cable news. Borders, his massive accomplishments over 5 weeks and how the economy sucks because of Senile Joe are boring. How we’re all going to have ~~World~~ _Global_ Peace on Emperor Trump’s terms and that he’ll win all the Nobel Prizes will be interesting. ---

Yeah, probably “or else”. My wife reminded me when I read the FOX synopsis and I was saying “World Peace” yet they say the similar, yet much loftier goal of “Global Peace” - **World Peace** = No war or major conflicts between countries. - **Global Peace** = A peaceful world in every sense, including economic and social harmony. The democrat’s need to go, for the holding hands and sing along, “…in perfect harmony. Grow apple trees, and honey bees. And snow white turtle doves…” ---

Just now I saw a commercial in which Kristi ‘Puppy Killer’ Noem warned undocumented immigrants to get out or else. It makes me mad that Trump is turning the United States of America into a fascist authoritarian state. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > I missed it, when did this happen? Lucky for us: not yet. If you wish to take this as Proof that It Can’t Happen Here, take away. Like others, I couldn’t punish myself by watching after Donald appeared in the doorway of the chamber with that head-high I AM SO VERY IMPORTANT, THE MOST IMPORTANT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN expression. I did see the Democratic rep holding the “this is not normal” sign got it ripped out of her hands—in triumph!–by a Republican. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BcS8wNu7q3U/maxres2.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEoCIAKENAF8quKqQMcGADwAQH4AbYIgAKAD4oCDAgAEAEYZSBSKEAwDw==&rs=AOn4CLB_iY1N2KX0X-Zb4hOcCIX5UB8OSg "Rep. Stansbury “This is not normal” sign ripped from hands at Trump speech") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcS8wNu7q3U1) It all went downhill from there by the accounts I’ve seen. I flipped back every half hour or so to see Donald still droning away about how wonderful he is…for just shy of TWO HOURS. His approval numbers are going to keep sinking, I hope and pray. Those most deeply in the cult may have thought it was a great speech—but no one else does. I did think the Democrats failed to oppose Trump in any useful way (though I watched and did like Elissa Slotkin’s official response speech). Those who knew they were going to walk out, witlessly, had “RESIST” printed on the backs of their T-shirts. Yes, let’s message the Resistance being expelled! How inspiring! (They should have messaged “LIBERTY” and “FREEDOM” and “DEMOCRACY” being expelled. _That_ would have made sense.)
